The top is provided with a leg, F, which aids in supporting the top when opened out, as in Figsl 3, 4, and which, when the top is closed, as in Figs. 1, 2, folds compactly against one of the legs d d. The leg F in shape conforms to the leg (1, against which it folds, and when closed against the leg d it can be secured by means of a catch, G. The leg F has an offset at f to enable the leg to fit and fold beneath the receptacles O; and to enable the leg to better support the top when opened out, it is provided with a brace, f, which, when the top is opened, can be turned up, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, against the under side of the top.
